Answer:

55.32% probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Late delivery.

Event B: Service 2 was used.

A certain company sends 35% of its overnight mail parcels via express delivery service 1 and the rest by express delivery service 2.

100 - 35 = 65%.

So P(B) = 0.65

Service 2 has a record of 2.0% of packages being delivered late.

This means that P(A|B) = 0.02

Probability of a late delivery.

35% from service 1. Of those, 3% are late.

65% from service 2. Of those, 2% are late.

So

P(A) = 0.35*0.03 + 0.65*0.02 = 0.0235

What is the probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

P(B|A) = \frac{0.65*0.02}{0.0235} = 0.5532

55.32% probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

If the length of rectangle is thrice of its breadth and it's perimeter is 32 cm then finds its area​.​
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

48 cm²

Explanation:

Let the breadth be b, then the length is 3b

P = 2(Length + Breadth)

32 = 2(3b + b)

32 = 2(4b)

8b = 32

b = 4

Breadth is 4 cm

Length: 3b = 3(4) = 12 cm

Area of rectangle:

Length × Breadth

12 × 4

48 cm²

The vertex of this parabola is (2,-1). When the y value is 0, the x value is 5. What is the coefficient of the squared term in t
Schach [20]
Vertex form: y = a(x - h)² + k
h = 2
k = -1
y = 0
x = 5

0 = a(5 - 2)² - 1
0 = 9a - 1
a = 1/9

How do you convert 60 miles per hour is how many feet per second? can iny one help
DiKsa [7]
That's two questions.

The answer to the second question is:  Yes.

The answer to the first question is:

Multiply 60 miles per hour by ' 1 ' a few times.  Use fractions that have
the same thing on top and bottom, since those are always equal to ' 1 '.
Then cancel units if the same unit is on the top and the bottom.
Here's how it goes:

(60 mi/hr) x (5280 ft/mile) x (1hr/3600 sec) = (60 x 5280 / 3600) ft/sec = <u>88 ft/sec</u>
